Original text:

The Grass Changing Warbler Flying in the February sky, the willows are blowing on the embankment and drunk with spring smoke.

The children came back early from school and were busy flying kites in the east wind.

Translation

In the second month of the lunar calendar, the grass gradually sprouts and grows around the village, and orioles fly around. The willows are covered with long green branches, swaying in the wind, as if gently stroking the embankment. The water vapor that evaporates between the water and vegetation condenses like smoke. Willow seemed to be intoxicated by this rich scenery. The children in the village hurried home after school and took advantage of the east wind to fly kites into the blue sky.

The first and second sentences describe time and natural scenery, specifically and vividly describing nature in spring, and describing the unique bright and charming scenery of the countryside in spring. In early spring, in February, the grass grows green buds, and the oriole flies in the sky, singing happily. The long branches of the willows beside the embankment are gently brushing the ground, as if they are drunkenly swaying in the spring smoke. This is a typical spring scene. The four words "grass grows and orioles fly" bring to life all the scenery in spring. People seem to feel the atmosphere of revival and prosperity of all things, and the pulse of spring seems to be surging in front of people's eyes. "The willows on the embankment are drunk with the spring smoke." The willows in the village field have soft and slender branches, gently sweeping the embankment. In spring, the sun shines brightly on the earth, the smoke is misty, and the willows sway from side to side in the breeze. The poet used the word "drunk" to bring to life the beauty of the willow; the softness of the willow; the charm of the willow. This is a typical spring scene picture.
